Do you guys think Roma will go the distance in this tournament? I actually do not think so.

Yes, it was luck and the answer to your question is that Roma will not be able to continue the match after playing Brighton.
Just look at how Roma had a really hard time facing Feyenoord even though the club actually had a performance that should have been below Roma but De Rossi troops almost lost in performance against Feyenoord while the next match Brighton is one of the clubs that I admit has quite strong defensive players even though Roma have striker Lukaku who has a big body but I don't think it will be that easy to break down Brighton's big wall.
Meanwhile, as you said, Roma will not be able to maintain consistency in 2 competitions at once, while De Rossi has just managed Roma players and this is really a very difficult job for Roma and actually I just hope Roma will focus more on Series A and improve performance in the next season with better preparation.

I laughed at the penalty shootout seeing Lukaku confident style when he kicked the ball in the penalty round but failed to score. Cheesy

Well, actually Brighton is not very consistent themselves. And That's why I doubt them. Personally, I do not believe this match is actually heavily favored for one team. I believe both of them have kind of the same chance to win this match. But we know that this is going to be played twice. I think in both legs the home team is going to have the advantage.

Not going to lie the miss from Lukaku was definitely hilarious. But I guess that could happen. The main thing is Roma is not looking confident at all. Well, at least they did not in that match. I believe Roma might be thinking about the domestic league a lot more instead of the Europa League and that is the only explanation for why they had that type of performance in the last Europa League match

Actually, the difficulty that they are already facing is pretty incredible. And I think right now they are also fighting really hard in the Serie A.
So they will have to be really concentrated on that as well. Might be hard for them to concentrate on two competitions at the same time Undecided

Before this, Rosa was unlucky in the penalty shootout, so we can say that yesterday luck returned the favor to Roma, but yes, they had a real chance to finish their performance just yesterday.
But now Brighton is ahead and there will be no easy games at all. I haven’t checked the odds yet, but as I understand it, Brighton are serious favorites for the first game in England and overall are a slight favorite to reach the quarter finals.

I will say this, Brighton is in harder competition in the English Premier League compared to Roma in the Italian league. So I believe Brighton is going to be the one expected to win. But for me, this match could go either way. I do not trust Roma at the moment.
